The Stellenbosch Brewing Company Story

The Stellenbosch Brewing Company is a craft brewery started by certified brewer Bruce Collins, and business partner Andrew Birss.

They focus on brewing beers in a style they call New World beers. While utilising only fresh and natural ingredients, they respect the heritage of traditional styles, yet creatively brew them to suit South African taste buds and diversity. Think outdoors, sunny skies, golden beaches, rainbows and sunsets in liquid form.

Stellies Beer, as Stellenbosch Brewing Co. is also known, is of the finest quality and highly unique in character, with a fresh approach to packaging and brand association.

The brewery was established in 2013, and in 2015 the Stellenbosch Brewing Co. taproom opened on the Klein Joostenberg farm. The taproom offers a tranquil setting in which to taste Stellies Beer and enjoy relaxed, picnic-style foods in the garden. It’s also a jumping off point for outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, trail races and even game viewing.
